Hello! The 8 GB iPhone 3G is $99 without a rebate. The new 16 GB iPhone 3GS is $199 without a rebate. Any wonder that the iPhone is cleaning your clocks in sales?

The fact that Google's operating system was free and open-source was supposed to make its phones significantly cheaper. So make it happen, or Android will continue to be a "better Windows Mobile" forever.

Sure, the carriers will still find some buyers for these phones: People who are loyal to (or stuck on) Sprint or T-Mobile, who want to upgrade to a smartphone with apps. But they're not going to drive any huge sales, pulling people from other carriers the way Apple has.
